Brief Answer:
Please provide more details, eye strain and fatigue can cause something like this occasionally.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Seeing vivid images in front of eyes during tiredness is most likely associated with no pathology. Floaters can present with such symptoms in tiredness and they are not serious. They could be sign of eye strain.

But if you are really seeing true colorful images then it needs further evaluation.

If you are aware that these are just images which you are seeing by eyes and are not true images.

If you have any history of head trauma, seizures, migraine, hypertension.

If there is history of any recent drug intake or alcohol intake.

If you take Solpadeine on regular basis.

Please provide me these details in follow up when even you get time so that I can comment further. But as per my opinion there should be no fear and these floaters are pretty normal and nothing unusual in them.

Thanks.
